Okay, anyone skilled with Chinese, could at least someone figure out the names of the servers. I got Google to tear at it, and the translation sucked.

1. Amazing Sky
2. Universe

it's strange translating these words, because they're not like your everyday language, the 2 character-words are almost poetic in a way in chinese, but when translated into english, it's plain, and kinda silly :shock:

Yep, my limited knowledge of Chinese tells me the 2nd character of the first server is Sky, so I'm assuming meangirl is 100% correct!

Well, then we should come to a common consensus regarding a poetic english version which almost means the same thing. Anyone have any ideas? (I'm not poetic)

O.o That sound ironic. You can only speak Chinese, but you can only read English. Sounds quite awkward too. >.x

Apparently we are supposed to use:

?? - Gate Server
?? - Dragon Server

Where Dragon is the server which doesn't lag as much. At least that makes things easier to say. >.x

See, now it's easy, the new server is called "Oracle". Everything is so much easier to read now too, but a bit blocky. >.x

As per the usual post-card comment, "Wish you were here." >.>
